It’s been a busy week for Monaco’s royal family: Beatrice Borromeo married Pierre Casiraghi, the son of Monaco’s Princess Caroline—the eldest daughter of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier—in a religious ceremony in northern Italy earlier today, following a prior ceremony seven days ago. The bride and groom were married in a civil ceremony in Monaco last weekend, with the bride donning a pink-and-gold couture Valentino gown. (Click here to see Beatrice Borromeo’s fist wedding dress.) For today’s festivities, Beatrice picked a custom-made ivory Giorgio Armani Prive wedding dress, and the groom wore a three-piece grey suit. Here’s a picture of Beatrice Borromeo’s engagement ring, if you need a reminder. A photo posted by Armani Official (@armani) on Aug 1, 2015 at 12:42pm PDT For the rehearsal dinner the night before, the bride picked a long-sleeved bohemian gown that was reportedly by Valentino.

And baby makes three: Charlize Theron is a new mom again, after adopting a daughter last month, Us Weekly has confirmed. The new addition joins four-year-old brother Jackson. The baby was born in the United States, and her name is August. In April, the actress spoke on motherhood to W magazine. “ I do know that choosing to be a mom in my late 30s has been really great for me,” she said. “It’s given me perspective.” read more

Marrying a non-royal isn’t a big deal for plenty of royals: Prince William married Kate Middleton, of course, and made her a duchess. Earlier this summer, former reality-TV star Sofia Hellqvist swapped vows with Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip; she’s now Princess Sofia of Sweden, Duchess of Varmland. And here are nine more non-royals who have married in to royalty. NBD. But for Prince Amedeo of Belgium, it was a big deal. He and his now-wife, Elisabetta Maria Rosboch von Wolkenstein—she goes by the much more low-key “Lili”—celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary this month. And the palace confirmed this week that because Prince Amedeo failed to obtain a royal decree for the marriage from the king, he effectively gave up his place in the succession. Read more about Prince Amadeo and Lili’s wedding here. (She’s a writer!) Granted, Prince Amedeo probably never would have been king. On his wedding day, he was sixth in line to the throne, currently held by King Philippe, after a host of the king’s children. (Amedeo’s mother is Princess Astrid, the king’s sister, so he’s a nephew of the king.) But the move was no oversight: According to The Times, “palace sources claim that the prince read more

Are Kylie Jenner and Tyga engaged? The rumor mill has been churning overtime since Kylie’s been spotted out and about in recent weeks with a majorly sparkly ring on THAT finger. We were inclined to say no after getting a better look at the ring in question on Snapchat earlier this week: Yes, it looks like her right hand here, but since she’s shooting selfie-style, the pic is reversed. That’s her left hand with a trio of thin bands and a diamond-encrusted version of Cartier’s Love Ring. Technically that ring marketed as a wedding band. But hold your “Are they married?!” horses: Since Kylie’s 17 until August 10, she would have needed both her parents’ and a judge’s consent to walk down the aisle—and we don’t see Kris or Caitlyn letting that fly. Last night Kylie took to Twitter to either clear things up herself—or confuse them further: Not planning on getting married anytime soon :)— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) July 30, 2015 Notice she didn’t flat-out say, “I’m not engaged” though. A couple could very well be engaged and “not plan on getting married any time soon.” And there are no laws about getting engaged to a minor. And still, read more

In a world where wedding dresses can cost upwards of $20,000 {See: Nicky Hilton’s $75,000 Valentino gown. } it’s hard to imagine finding something gorgeous for less than a 10th of that price.

Obviously exchanging vows and being pronounced husband and wife* are the most important parts of your wedding day, but when it comes to all-eyes-on-you moments, one stands out as the most visible: “You may now kiss the bride.” To make sure your lips are up to the task, follow these two steps, which The Lip Scrub creator Sara Happ shared in our Lipstick Instagram chat yesterday. *Or wife and wife or husband and husband. 1) Exfoliate! “Once lips are scrubbed, most girls are amazed at what their lips TRULY look like, and they're uniquely yours!” 2) Match your lip color to your natural lip tone. “swipe on a slightly heightened version of whatever your lips actually look like. You'll look like yourself and never regret a color that's not totally you.” That’s it. Two steps to the perfect kisser. We told you it was easy.

If it’s the royal grandparents’ job to spoil Prince George, grandpa Prince Charles is certainly up to the task. The heir apparent has turned the gardens at his Highgrove estate into an ultra-posh playground for his grandson. A photo posted by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Jul 21, 2015 at 6:13am PDT A wildflower meadow within the gardens is now home to a $30,000 handmade artisan 12-foot “shepherd’s hut”—painted pale duck-egg blue—which reportedly features a a wood-burning stove (that does not sound safe), a small bed, and French oak floors. Prince Charles has also reportedly refurbished the grounds’ tree house (named “Hollyrod House,” because a royal tree house deserves a proper name) that had been a gift to Prince William on his seventh birthday. The tree house features “holly leaf-shaped balusters and a thatched roof, as well as a long rope leading to a trap door.” According to the Daily Mail’s “well-placed royal sources,” Charles “regularly enjoys picnics in the gardens with George and has even bought him a tea set, complete with plastic cups, to play with.” Click through to see a picture of the tree house in all of its original 1989 glory.

Pierre Casiraghi, who’s seventh in line for Monaco’s throne, married Beatrice Borromeo in a civil ceremony last weekend, but the party’s far from over. The wedding will continue into next weekend, with a religious event and corresponding party on the luxurious Borromean Islands, owned by the bride’s aristocratic Italian family. (Her father is a count.) While we’re waiting for pictures from part deux of their nuptials, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the more recent royal weddings of Monaco, starting with the groom’s grandmother, Grace Kelly. A photo posted by Valentino (@maisonvalentino) on Jul 26, 2015 at 4:56am PDT Beatrice wore a custom Valentino wedding dress for her civil ceremony. Prince Rainier III & Grace Kelly The American actress would give up life as she knew it after Prince Rainier III proposed with a 10.47 emerald-cut diamond in 1956. (Click here for a picture of Grace Kelly’s engagement ring.) Grace and her family had to provide a dowry of $2 million in order for the marriage to go forward, which it did, with a wedding on April 19, 1956. The first of their three children, Princess Caroline—Pierre Casiraghi’s mother—was born nine months and four read more

Model (and former Celebrity Apprentice contestant) Hope Dworaczyk married billionaire tech investor Robert Smith over the weekend, and the pictures that have been trickling out have been truly over the top. (Click here to see how the couple’s seven-month-old son, Hendrix, traveled down the aisle as their ring bearer!) The bride wore three couture wedding gowns during their Amalfi Coast nuptials—where John Legend, Seal, Brian McKnight, and DJ Cassidy performed—including this heavily beaded wedding dress with a sweeping train by Naeem Khan. A photo posted by The Bombette (@thebombette) on Jul 28, 2015 at 2:06pm PDT Here’s a rear view, with that cascading veil: A photo posted by - Carla DiBello (@carladibello) on Jul 25, 2015 at 5:59pm PDT And here’s an up-close pic: A photo posted by Brooke Caldwell (@brookecaldwell16) on Jul 27, 2015 at 12:09pm PDT This video of the bride, close to tears, at the top of the aisle isn’t the best quality, but it’s too pretty not to share: A video posted by Hope Dworaczyk (@hopedworaczyk) on Jul 27, 2015 at 6:09am PDT The bridesmaids also wore custom Naeem Khan gowns.

With less than two months until the arrival of her baby boy, Jessie James Decker is definitely in nesting mode. “I’m just all about making my home comfortable and warm and inviting,” the E! star says. “Happy home equals happy baby.” The Nashville-based singer partnered with Joss & Main to design a vintage sports nursery-themed for baby No. 2.—dad is Eric Decker, a starting wide receiver for the New York Jets—and the results were, unsurprisingly, adorable. Take a peek. (That’s big sister Vivianne Rose below!) You can shop the room (and other pieces inspired by it) at her Joss & Main curated sale, which launched last night. !function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

Even if you keep a neat-ish home, for the most part, there are several super-gross spots that you’re probably overlooking. After all, when’s the last time you cleaned that keyboard that you’re currently tap-tap-tapping on? (Time to break out the rubbing alcohol.) Here are three more mega-dirty spots in your home—and exactly how to clean them. Computer Keyboard Touch your hair, touch your face, touch your lunch—and in between it all, put your fingers back on your keyboard. Disgusting. Blow out dirt and crumbs with a can of compressed air and clean the keys and the area around the keyboard with a presoaked alcohol pad (it should be damp, not dripping). Wipe the screen with a screen-safe wipe as needed. Small Rugs Peek under your hallway runner or lift up your floor mat. Chances are there’s a ton of grime under there—never mind the grossness that’s trapped inside. Most small rugs can be vacuumed or laundered (but check the cleaning instructions) and you should clean the floor that’s underneath them regularly too. Light Fixtures The top of light fixtures, as well as any exposed parts of the bulbs, are dust magnets. To wipe away dust that won’t budge—and, in turn, read more

Even though Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross swapped vows almost a year ago, so far the only wedding pictures we’ve seen were creepy paparazzi shots from outside the church. But now, as the two are waiting for the arrival of their baby girl, they decided to share a bunch of photos from their wedding day and rehearsal dinner. First, the rehearsal dinner, where Ashlee wore a sparkly, spangly gown and Evan wore a silly hat. A photo posted by Evan Ross (@realevanross) on Jul 27, 2015 at 5:52pm PDT A photo posted by Evan Ross (@realevanross) on Jul 27, 2015 at 5:56pm PDT And the, the wedding itself, where Ashlee nailed it in a crop-top wedding dress by Houghton. And Evan inexplicably showed up in the same goofy hat.

Like the rest of us, Jimmy Kimmel is sick of committing to a season of The Bachelor/The Bachelorette only to have the couple split up 12 seconds later. [Spoiler alerts ahead, obvs.] Here’s Your First Look at Kaitlyn From the Bachelorette’s Engagement Ring! So when the late-night host welcomed Bachelorette Kaitlyn and Shawn B., who got her final rose, on the Jimmy Kimmel Live after last night’s Bachelorette finale, he made them SWEAR (on a stack of Us Weeklys, but still) that they’d tie the knot. Or at least be together for a year. And, we should note, they SWORE. So Jimmy and Guillermo celebrated by taking Kaitlyn wedding dress shopping. AND bridesmaid dress shopping. read more

Shawn or Nick? Nick or Sean? Given The Bachelorette’s track record for true romance—three weddings in 10 seasons, if you’re keeping track—we kind of don’t care about who gets Kaitlyn Bristowe’s final rose. But we always care about a Neil Lane engagement ring. [Spoiler alerts ahead, in case that wasn't abundantly clear.] After Kaitlyn passed on Nick, she said yes to Shawn and this sparkler. Here's the engagement ring when Shawn was chatting up Neil Lane: And here it is on her finger: Looks like a round center stone—maybe 3.5 carats—in a cushion-cut halo in a twisted setting with pave diamonds.

Six months after the dating rumors broke, Empire’s Grace Gealey and Trai Byers are engaged, Us Weekly has confirmed. Trai made the proposal extra-special, proposing on Sunday, Grace’s 31st birthday. “He surprised her on her birthday,” a source told Us. “He popped the question and she was totally surprised and elated. She can’t stop looking at the ring! They celebrated all night.” Both shared pictures of the evening on Instagram: A photo posted by Grace Gealey (@gracegealey) on Jul 27, 2015 at 12:44pm PDT A photo posted by Trai Byers (@traibyers) on Jul 27, 2015 at 12:13pm PDT read more

You could buy a LOT with a million bucks—or not, if it’s real estate you’re shopping. In some cities, sure, $1,000,000 will get you a pool or a dozen acres. But in others it won’t even get you decent closet space. Here’s how far you can stretch a cool mill in 10 of our favorite U.S. cities. Chicago This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom “boutique” condo in a landmark building offers two private outdoor spaces, a pair of parking spots, and “enormous windows.” The listing doesn’t mention the square footage, which can be a bad sign, but the rooms look spacious. And the skyline views seem breathtaking. ($1,100,000; see the Trulia listing here.) San Francisco This waterfront loft has a lot to offer in just 1,401 square feet, including two bedrooms—including a master suite with a “huge” walk-in closet—and two bathrooms spread over three floors. Head to the private roof deck for panoramic city views. ($1,095,000; see the Trulia listing here.) New Orleans French Quarter living comes at a premium. This 1,081-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath condo is one of four new construction units that remain in a former warehouse. The kitchen is petite, but a pair of parking spaces and the indoor-outdoor rooftop terrace read more

No matter how big or small your wedding budget is, chances are you’re going to go over it once you’re knee-deep in planning. Everything will likely cost more than you expected—and there are loads of hidden costs {corkage fee, anyone? } that you probably forgot to include in your budget tally. But there’s an easy way to save cash without sacrificing style: Skip the reception flowers. A photo posted by Hope Dworaczyk (@hopedworaczyk) on Jul 26, 2015 at 12:38pm PDT This super-posh table—from the rehearsal dinner of model Hope Dworaczyk, who was married over the weekend—is perfection for a wedding, with zero flowers in sight. Yes, there are candles and crystals for miles, but even if you factor in the cost of the rentals, these centerpieces probably cost way less than a neverending row of fresh blooms. Plus, it would be easy to copycat the look with less-fancy candleholders. CB2’s mix-and-match Numi Candleholders are a good place to start. read more

What do you wear down the aisle if you’re an Italian aristocrat marrying the gentleman who’s seventh in line to the throne of Monaco? Haute couture, of course. Beatrice Borromeo picked a one-of-a-kind wedding dress designed by Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli when she swapped vows with Pierre Casiraghi in a civil ceremony on Saturday. (Click here for wedding details.) A photo posted by Valentino (@maisonvalentino) on Jul 26, 2015 at 4:56am PDT The wedding gown was made from a pale pink and gold lace silk chiffon and featured a gentle A-line skirt and a V-neck top with a sheer floral lace overlay. It seems she wore a delicate flower crown in her hair to match, although that could be some kind of tiara; we’ll keep you posted when we get a better look. Later that evening, the bride slipped into a white gown, also Valentino couture, from the spring 2015 collection. Click here to see Beatrice Borromeo’s other wedding dress. read more
